Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy

The Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD) is a liberal political party in Djibouti that was founded in 1991. The party represented the Afar people, and it rebelled against Hassan Gouled Aptidon's French-backed government from 1991 to 1994 in the Djiboutian Civil War. The party would split into a pro-peace moderate faction and a pro-armed struggle radical faction, and the moderate faction took over the party after making peace.
